For some unfathomable reason everyone in my office has the sound cranked up on their computers so every time an all-staffer email is sent out you get to hear 30 Microsoft Outlooks announcing it's arrival, all out of sync with each other. It's like being at the world's crappest harp concert.

Tried these Plantronics about a year ago and couldn't get the weird horn-shaped earbuds to line up properly or stay in which meant bass and noise isolation suffered. The bluetooth didn't seem to like me moving around outside and would cause the music pitch to go up or down as the signal bounced off walls or other objects when I walked past them.
Would love to have wireless headphones but no-one's made a decent pair yet.

So, what IS the worst film ever made?

Jaws IV The Revenge
Jaws was cinema at its best, Jaws II a passable sequel, even Jaws III is watchable in a post-pub cheesy 80s spot-the-black-border-around-what-would-have-been-3D-at-the-cinema sort of way. But Jaws IV is diabolical low-budget straight to video fare. Terrible script, terrible acting, unlikable characters, a rubber shark that roars (yes, roars). And the worst thing? Every time ITV4 re-runs it I feel compelled to watch. Maybe part of me can't condemn it in its entirety, maybe I'm desperately looking for that one bit of clever dialogue, that one cinematic shot or special effect that might make me think "I can see now why people spent time, money, sweat, etc, on this movie" but no. I can find merit in just about every film I've ever watched, good and bad, but not this one - it stinks like a week old fish.
